Gold Pineapple

COSTA RICA

We have hit the ground running as we come out of the Christmas and New Years holiday closures. Harvest crews are operating at full capacity ahead of schedule because of the added nutrition and shift up in crop size for our US contract customers. Heavy rains and some temperature drops have occurred over the previous 2 weeks. These events are typical for this time of year and are why we religiously apply the crop products needed to avoid the environmental stress on the plants. They are necessary to reduce the severe swings in natural floration production that would be seen 6 months later.

Watermelon

We’ve finished our domestic watermelon production for the 2023 season, but we’ll be starting with Mexican watermelon production in late September and will continue with imports from Mexico throughout the Fall and Winter.

Tomato

Michoacan has continued to have colder weather over the beginning weeks of 2024 slowing production down tremendously. We will continue to have lite supplies as we continue into February with the majority of product having a lighter color.  Plants will continue to produce, but tomatoes will take longer to color up. As we move into warmer weather, we will see some relief in product availability.
